From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 70

late at night.

The moon is hidden by clouds drifting from the sea.

The island jungle was completely shrouded in darkness, and braziers were set up inside and outside the beach camp for lighting.

"Team B-[-], take over the shift to watch the night, you brothers have worked hard."

Baihu walked out of the camp with his team, bowed his hands to the oncoming team, and signaled for the handover.

The two sides met each other, exchanged a few words of greeting, and the handover was considered complete.

"Raise your torches, especially when you are near the edge of the jungle."

Looking at the deep jungle in the distance, Baihu held the long knife slung across his waist, his expression unavoidably tense, and he turned to remind his subordinates, but found that all of them looked sluggish and ugly.
"What, wronged you?"

"Your Excellency misunderstood, I don't know why, I always feel weak tonight, it's really strange."

A general banner rushed out to explain, breathing heavily.

"It may be the sequelae of a lot of physical exertion during the day. It should improve after tonight. Let's go, just walk slower when patrolling!"

In fact, Baihu himself felt inexplicably tired, and this was the only explanation he could think of.

However, the patrol task cannot be shirked, and can only be continued.

Fortunately, everyone in the team was not too tired to walk. Holding a torch, they slowly left the camp and approached the jungle.

According to the rules of Commander Lu, although the night patrol team does not need to enter the jungle, they must patrol back and forth along the outside of the jungle to ensure that no monsters will suddenly rush out at night and affect the rest in the camp.

So far, the interior of the jungle is very calm, so Baihu is not nervous, just walking back and forth.

But when he got close to the jungle, the light from the torch was projected forward.

The scene in front of him made Bai Hu's eyes wide open.

I saw behind the trees in the edge area, several humanoid monsters appeared unexpectedly at some point!

They hide behind lush bushes or thick tree trunks, only showing half of their strange smiling faces or long necks like snake eels, staring straight at the patrol outside the jungle
A horrifying chill rose up his spine, and Baihu's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The right hand clenched the handle of the knife, the left hand stretched to the back to get the horn, took a deep breath, turned around and roared,

"run!"

After all, without waiting for the other team members to react, he turned around and went straight to the camp while taking out the horn, putting it near his mouth and blowing it.

The dull sound of the horn suddenly echoed among the sandy beaches.

There was commotion in the direction of the camp.

Before Baihu was happy that he had successfully issued a warning, the sound of intensive footsteps behind him made his expression change suddenly.

Not daring to look back, just running with sullen hair and feet.

It was just physical fatigue that caused a fatal mistake at this moment, his right foot tripped over a stone buried in the beach, Baihu couldn't react in time, and fell forward directly.

When he got up in a hurry, there was a strong wind behind him. Looking back hastily, he saw two heads passing by, biting his left and right waists, and lifting him to a high place.

Blood spattered, and the severe pain stimulated Baihu's spirit.

In the fluttering field of vision, he saw dozens of monsters of different sizes rushing out of the jungle led by a few particularly bloated monsters, and launched a surprise attack on the camp.

How could this be?
He didn't understand why so many monsters could gather suddenly, and the goal was even more clear and unified.

It was a very different scene from what they saw when they hunted monsters in the jungle during the day.

Puchi~
The sound of tearing flesh and blood sounded.

The long neck flicked, and the sharp teeth tore apart the armor, Baihu was like a rag bag, shattered in the air.

Baihu's death seemed to be a signal for the monsters to charge.

Dozens of humanoid monsters took advantage of the night to step across the sand that should have been the boundary, and stormed towards the camp!

Fortunately, Baihu's dying warning horn was received immediately, and the sergeant responsible for the safety of the camp immediately sounded the horn.

The whole camp is on alert!

A large number of sergeants rushed out of the resting camp. Most of them were wearing armor. Although their footsteps were a little staggering, they were still somewhat awake, and they were not slow. They rushed to the main gate of the camp to assemble.

This is the difference between the elite of a hundred battles and the ordinary army.

Even after repeated battles during the day, these soldiers still did not remove their armor, and even maintained a light sleep state, waking up immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

Doing so hurts the body and mind, but it is also the key to the fleet's foothold on this overseas island.

However, just as they formed their team in an orderly manner, the offense and defense in front of the camp had already begun.

The cannon that was dismantled from the guard ship and installed in front of the camp opened fire first, directly smashing the monsters rushing to the front, and the flames shot up into the sky!
The humanoid monsters showed no fear at all. Relying on their huge size and powerful kinetic energy when they charged, they ran over the horses outside the camp and crashed into the newly built wooden wall.

After all, it was only the first day on the island.

No matter how hard the peasants who came with the fleet worked, it was impossible to build a complete camp defense in an afternoon.

This group of monsters, or the people who controlled them, just seized the opportunity of the fleet's first landing on the island, the foothold was unstable, and the soldiers were exhausted!

I want to use this charge to cause heavy damage to the fleet.

In front of the main tent.

Commander Lu opened the curtain, looked at the fire at the gate of the camp, with a gloomy expression, and said in a low voice,
"Come on!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Several Jinyiwei immediately appeared.

"Pass my order, all the soldiers will guard the camp and not retreat!"

"Distribute weapons to civilian husbands, ask them to join the front line temporarily, and tell them that as long as they survive tonight, everyone will be rewarded by the court. When they go back, they will be rewarded with land and houses. I will personally ask for credit for them!"

"Let more than a hundred generals go to the center of the camp to gather. I will personally lead the team and prepare to launch a counter-charge against these monsters!"

Taking big strides towards the central area of ​​the camp, Commander Lu calmly issued orders one after another with a calm expression.

The Jinyi guards who were ordered quickly rushed to all parts of the camp to convey the order to the people everywhere.

Soon the whole camp was boiling.

An Jing outside the camp also approached the camp after hearing the sound of the horn, but he was still followed by Nangong Lian, and Tie Wushuang and Lin Xieying joined him after entering the camp.

The three of them looked at each other, and all eyes turned to An Jing.

"This night attack is extremely dangerous. Commander Lu will definitely let us charge forward to face the most powerful monster. This is a naked use. I also learned that she secretly wants to use this opportunity to get rid of us. It's the best time to do it!"

Nangong Lian approached An Jing, her eyes were dyed red, and she poured the words prepared in advance into An Jing's mind.

Her charm cannot directly control the strong, but uses this almost hypnotic method to make the latter think it is her own thoughts, and then act independently.

Noticing the anger gradually appearing on An Jing's face, Nangong Lian strikes while the iron is hot,
"Are you willing to let this group of drunkards and rice bags ride on our heads? General Hushen is under my control. As long as Commander Lu is killed, the fleet will be led by us at that time, and fame and fortune will be at our fingertips!"
